sorry to leave questions above blank ,i'm a Chinese user ,some Chinese video 
websites load their video from a IP address ,and the IP address changes every 
time :P  i must refreash the site nearly 10 times to Whitelisted every IP 
before making the video steadily loaded.

i also searched this problem ,issue 39 ,79 ,121 ,135 ,209 seems to put forward 
this problem already.

So i wish to whitelist wildcard IP addresses such as 192.168.*.* or allow all 
IP connections

btw everything goes smoothly with NoScript on Firefox.

I don't think allowing all IP connections would be a great idea. Whitelisting 
IPs via wildcards is also risky, because IP ranges aren't always between 0 and 
255 in the last octet.

That said, an ability to whitelist a range of IPs would be great - I keep 
having to whitelist individual IPs on Netflix, for example.

This should either be implemented using a manual 'first IP to last IP' 
selector, or by adding IPs using CIDR notation, i.e. 192.168.0.0 to 
192.168.0.255 is 192.168.0.0/24 - or by using a first-last selector to generate 
CIDR notation based entries.

ok ok.. just thinking, suggestions... yeah the CIDR notation entry fields... 
and have those go in a separate box with optional txt labels for easy 
management, not necessarily handled separately, but at least just for show. 
then maybe a button to harvest the pure numbers (IPs) from the dns whitelist, 
clean it up. then for safety, due diligence: a button that opens a 3rd party 
whois service to lookup those ranges.

this leaves it all in the users' hands. Otherwise, a feature that allows the 
simple import of pre-defined ranges - but someone would have to create, 
maintain and check them, to some extent.

Defects 191, 218 and 278 seem to be related.

I too would like to be able to whitelist a range of IP's.  Mostly because on 
our local lan and VPN's, I have several thousand IP's that need permissions 
just to access a copier's UI or another network devices interface.
